Is there a reason my GSP is closed! It’s not as open as it used to be and all my parameters are the same! I check like almost every other day and nothing is changed!
Why is my GSP closed

Currently working but I’ll get back to you as soon as I can! I honestly might think it could be my hermit crabs, peppermint shrimp or snails…

it looks like you have a bit of vermetidae snails.
When they feed they excete like this nasty mucus which most corals do not appreciate.
But like TX states, we need to know chemistry more, and possibly what other corals are near it.

My GSP is one of my most temperamental corals. Let’s me know early on if anything has changed in the tank. If it’s closed, I tend to test and observe. Same with duncans very good canary in the coal mine type Coral for changes in chemistry or lighting.

Well i always try to snap the snails off at the base with tweezers unless they are just cluttered with it.
If they are, they go in a frag tank with a bunch of bumble bee snails for them to go nom nom nom on.

GSP is called WEED along with Xenia's for a reason.
You need to try to kill it, or just ignore it, otherwise its one of the corals many do not like because it creeps and spreads all over the place that isn't sanded off.

I want it to grow right now and fill the back of the tank!
Doing the same here. Funny how people call it a weed. For years I couldn't even keep the stuff alive. This tank will be coming down and the GSP going in the new tank. I'm going to try and grow it in the bottom so it looks like ocean grass. I really love the bright green.

I'm going to try and peel that entire piece off when I switch tanks. I figure I'll have a one really nice piece or a bunch of frags to scatter around the tank
